  • Patent number: 11980585
    Abstract: A device for securing a discharge end of a gas discharge apparatus inside a gas delivery conduit of a fluid impermeable liner covering a liquid-receiving basin features a first portion configured to be supported on the basin so as to engage an outer face of the liner which normally engages the basin and a second portion of the device configured to be movable relative to the first portion to selectively engage an inner face of the liner in opposite relation to the first portion in a working position. The inner face of the liner delimits the interior of the liner-covered basin. The first and second portions are configured to cooperatively form a generally tubular cavity substantially encompassing the gas delivery conduit in the working position, to clamp the gas delivery conduit over the discharge end of the gas discharge apparatus to substantially form a fluidic seal therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11980629
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are conditioning regimens and methods for inducing MHC- or HLA-mismatched mixed chimerism by conditioning a recipient with radiation-free, low-doses of cyclophosphamide (CY), pentostatin (PT), and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) prior to transplantation of donor bone marrow cells. In certain embodiments, the donor bone marrow cells may be CD4+ T-depleted bone marrow cells. The conditioning regimens and methods may also include administering one or more populations of conditioning donor cells selected from donor CD4+ T-depleted spleen cells, donor CD8+ T cells, and donor G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The conditioning regimen is clinically acceptable and can be used for treating hereditary hematological diseases and autoimmune diseases, as well as for promoting organ transplantation immune tolerance.

  • Patent number: 11980632
    Abstract: Disclosed is fucosyllactose having antiviral activity and inhibitory activity against viral infection, and a method for preventing or treating a viral infection by administering a composition including fucosyllactose as an active ingredient to a subject in need thereof. It was found that 2?-fucosyllactose and 3-fucosyllactose, which are human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), have antiviral activity, and in particular, 3-fucosyllactose in vitro and in vivo exhibits much higher antiviral activity and inhibitory activity against viral infection compared to 2?-fucosyllactose and is thus useful as an antiviral agent.
